Sterling High School doesn't have much extracurricular outside of sports, but it is a nice school to be at. You can develop real connections with the teachers and have a good amount of class options.

I like how Sterling High School allows students to take concurrent enrollment classes at Northeastern Junior College. However, we had to do the college enrollment process by ourselves. Also, graduation requirements are constantly changing. Staff seems to have given up on students.
